the most I have ever done was 111 in two minutes. I am in the Army and we have to do pushups as part of a physical fitness test, and we only get two minutes to do them.
I was able to get that high doing a pushup program that Pavel Tsatsouline wrote back in 2001. It was called "Drop and give 100" program.
If anyone is interested in this program, let me know.

In college my exercise science class did a test of how many pushups could you do in a row (no meaningful rest) and the most in the class was 86, I did 72. Now I'm much stronger but significantly heavier, I probably can't do 50.

Hey Kingkrs, I am actually interested in this program. I am also in the Army and looking for things to help my soldiers improve their pushups. I currently do 90 in Two minutes. But thats enough for me to max. Let me know.

I wouldn't mind hearing about the "Drop and give 100" program. I'm currently in the Navy DEP and I want to get my push-ups up to make RTC go a little easier.

Taken from www.specialtactics.com/MILFIT4.pdf
Comrades, I get a lot of e-mail from folks who are hesitant to try many of the Russian training principles explored in this newsletter. One of the things that weighs on comrade’s minds is the issue of training to
failure. Training to failure is so ingrained in the American subconscious that it is very difficult to see another way. Consider this, as I explained to one young gentleman, any candidate that graduates meets the standard. But by how much? Personally I was just over it by a couple reps. I barely met the MINIMUM standard. There is the crowd that says, “if a doctor barely passes the medical boards, he’s called a doctor, so what’s the big deal?” The big deal my friends is that the minimums are not good enough and if you can
proudly accomplish the minimum when you enter INDOC, you may be rather disillusioned when your body breaks down and you are unable to meet that low standard come EVAL time. Exceed the standard while keeping your body as fresh as possible and you will not only increase your odds of surviving, but
even exceeding the standards by more than a few reps.
There are still some folks out there that don’t buy all that. They site INDOC graduates who swear by training to failure. Well, it’s a hell of a thing when you are faced with the prospect of being kicked out when you’re going to miss the standard by a few reps. When that mental burden comes crashing down on you, then call me up and tell me what you think of failure as a whole. I know, I was there. I got set back to another class for failing pushups...by 2 reps! There is nothing more demoralizing than the physical inability to do one more rep. To give some of more of my personal history, I started right back in the next team immediately. Instructor Brannon took us out a couple of times and instead of training to failure, we did 25 reps for about ten sets. We did this all week. I remember loving it because I hated always fighting failure at the end of a set. Well, the next Monday was EVAL day and the Commandant was counting my reps. I easily knocked out 85 picture perfect reps. He had set me back not seven days before for this exercise and he got so mad that he chewed me out right there and nearly threw the counter at me. His biggest question was “where the hell was this one week ago?” I’ll never forget that. We all did well on Push-ups that week.
Another example can be seen from my days at INDOC when a comrade of mine knew he was going to fail the next week’s EVAL. He asked MSgt Pope for help and saved his career. Pope told him to do 20 push-ups every hour for the next week. Sure enough, he destroyed the standard on the EVAL.
For other comrades not interested in INDOC, take note that you can preserve your bench press numbers when a gym is not available. When I was starting to seriously lift weights in my teens there was a time
when I was working so much that I didn’t have time for the gym. My brother who is wise beyond his years told me to do several sets of pushups throughout the day and my bench press would only suffer small osses. Sure enough, after an entire summer and several sets of 25reps through out each day, my bench press only dropped 20lbs. I got that back in a week flat!
So, on to the Party Program! Here are Pavel’s two programs as published in Muscle Media Magazine (July 2001). Read and heed, Failure is not
an option!
General Pushup Pointers
-Keep the weight on the heels of your hands
-Grip width is up to you. You may vary it from set to set
-Keep your chest wide open to pre-stretch the muscles and increase power and safety to the joints.
-Look straight ahead rather than down.
-Be sure your breathing and movement is synchronized. Inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up. It also helps to mentally visualize
this. Do not discount the power of visualization!
-Get a rhythm and keep it! Rhythmic activity requires less energy.
Add High Tension Techniques for higher performance
-Grip the ground with your fingers as if you are trying to leave claw marks in the ground.
-Squeeze your glutes and abs.
-Squeeze your thighs together.
-Try to “screw” your hands into the ground as if you are turning your hands outward (but your hands won’t move).
-Use power breathing (if you don’t know what that is read Pavel’s books or bring it up on the forum).
-Use these techniques only when you need those last few reps on test day or when doing one-hand pushups. They will also be useful to the novice
who has trouble with only a few reps.
Push-up Rules
1. Never come close to failure except when
you are testing yourself (no more than
once a week).
2. Vary the reps and rest interval each day
3. Adjust the load to your recovery ability.
Listen to your body.
4. Build up to cumulative fatigue.
5. Always reduce the load before testing or
EVALs. The day or two before start reducing the load.
How Long and Why?
You should cycle this workout just like you do any other. For most folks, two weeks is plenty. You can follow this program with other exercises
as well, which makes the perfect cycle. Do two weeks of push-ups, two weeks of pull-ups, and two weeks of sit-ups, and then start all over again. This avoids over training and over use injuries.
This is no sissy workout! You will definitely feel this in a hurry. Your body will be going through an adaptation phase but don’t drag it out too long. Cycle it as mentioned above and when your body adapts to the first program after a couple cycles, take on the second program as shown above.
General Program Pointers:
When doing this program, stay away from most upper body and similar exercises. For example, if you are doing this program, don’t do any benching. This will just confuse the muscles and no adaptation will occur. Pull-ups and chins are fine. The combination works all the muscles in the upper body adequately without over training.
There are other variations I have published on www.specialtactics.com. Save them for a day when your body has fully adapted.

i bet your blood pressure is at least 150/100 most of the day...
anyhow, i never tried a PR for pushups... most i'll do is a set of 25 just to get the blood flowing in the chest and tris before bed...

i'll just assume, this is your internet persona, cause noone can be this ignornat in their everyday life without catching a beating here and there...
of course you're only 19, so that may explain part of it...
maybe you need to get laid...?

Nope, I'm like this all the time. People don't seem to have a problem, either. Oddly enough, most people who can deal with a bit of abuse love me, and that seems to be everyone. Outside of those people who need to be fucking coddled and be treated like gold all the time, no one cares how I act.
Caught a beating and given 'em - so what? All part of the game, right?
Nope, age has nothing to do with it. Nice try, going and pulling out age though, dipshit. You know, because that actually means anything other than how many times I've been around the sun.
Been laid. Plenty. Why is it that people point out sex (or lack of) as a reason for a person being hostile? When I wasn't fucking my girlfriend, I was jerking off more than enough to saitiate my sexual needs. I've also gone for a quarter of a year without any ejaculation and I was always the same - go figure.
Again, nice try, retard.

i love it when the person being accused of doing "x" feels the need to explain each and every facet of his life... frankly, i don't care, and just wanted to see how you would react, which you did just as i expected...
if you weren't looking for acceptance, you let the shit just roll off your back... just keep playing the tough guy, every website needs one...
if you don't like the guys posts, don't reply to them, and they would die down and wouldn't get the attention...
but this post seems to have contributed to the board, as many people were interested in the "drop and give me 100 training"...
after being banned how many times, you think you would get the message...

The original post had nothing to do with the drop and give me 100 training. It was coldblue making another annoying post polling people about random, retarded things. He pisses me off, and I'm going to express that and haunt him whenever I can.
Yes, I certainly explained every facet. Nice job.
Acceptance from what? A discussion forum? No. Looking for entertainment? Sure thing. A debate or arguement entertains me, and when I stop by and see people getting annoyed by me, and dropping "g-bombs"FRlol I laugh.
The posts won't die down, they keep coming, and they have for how long now?
I don't care how many times I've been banned. I'll keep acting the way I do now, and it won't change for anyone. If the board doesn't like it, they can permanently ban me. I don't really give a fuck outside of that.

I look at it like this - I've always been this way, and regardless of how stubborn it sounds, I refuse to change just so people don't get annoyed with me as quickly. If that means people never talk to me, fine. I'm going to act the way I always have, unless I feel compelled to change for another reason.
Yep, e-arguing sucks. When you get fed up with the other asshole, you can't kick them in the shin and break their nose.

Don't mess with anthrax, he's a badass. On the internet.
Sike, what a fuckin tool you are man, why don't you tell us story of your life to justify your queerness. Oh wait it's the internet and you can't kick me in the shin you fuckng pussy, why would you even say that. Wait I know cause you're a huuugee fruit cake sitting behind a computer screen eating cookies trying to come up with a comeback you last heard in middle school since you nver made it to high school ADD boy. Keep your mood swings, add, sugar deficiency or whatever the fuck you got going on to yourself and shut the fuck up. Being as asshole on the internet messageboard and giving everyone a horrible advice won't help you cope with your depression that you mentioned you have. Drink a gallon of bleach loser, do everyone a favor and no, no one will care cause no one likes you and certainly no one loves you, I guess those phrases help your depression.

You wrote too much, and it's not going to be worth reading. I'll just say what I said last time - you're an idiot.
Nice touch with the virginity insult, by the way. You know, as if you know anything about me. At least through these forums I can figure one thing - you're stupid, and the insults you sling are retarded.

I knocked out 105 after pausing at 82 and being corrected by my drill to continue to beat my face cuz no one told me to stop...
I might have been able to do more, I can do them all day, usually would stop and breath at 50 and then keep on going, those were the days...
